Thing #3

If I could have a classroom that had enough computers for each student, I would use blogs in the place of journals in my English classroom. I already plan on using journals as a daily bell ringer activity where students will respond to a posted topic. By using a blog, the students would be using technology and exposing themselves on how to use one. Also, students could post comments on each other's to create a message board like atmosphere and they could get feedback on the entries they have posted.

Also, by doing this the student's parents would be able to see what they are doing in class and monitor their child's progress in their writing skills.
